Hybrid against the other Toyota Camry versions
| Fuel | Pass rate | Tests |

| Petrol | 78.5% | 587 |
| All Toyota Camry | 89.3% | 1,744 |
Why the fuel type changes the number
Hybrids sidestep most emissions failures and tend to do lighter urban miles, though the extra weight tells on tyres and brakes.
On the Toyota Camry specifically, hybrid is the strongest at 94.8%, and this hybrid version sits 5.5 points above the 89.3% model average.
What it means if you are buying one
The hybrid Toyota Camry is the stronger side of this model on MOT data. Still judge the individual car, but the fuel type is a mild point in its favour. Buying a damaged one? run it through the analyzer, check the exact car, decode the VIN and check the mileage before you bid.
Mileage is part of the answer
The average hybrid Toyota Camry had covered 53,660 miles at test, against 110,410 for the petrol. That is around average, so condition and service history will tell you more than the odometer does.
Fuel type and mileage are tangled together: diesels are usually bought by higher-mileage drivers, so some of any gap between fuels is the miles rather than the engine. The per-year figures on the Toyota Camry page separate age from fuel if you want to isolate one.
